II K D L K Y. B.C. Grand Union Hotel . HEDLEY, B. C. HERRING & WINKLER, Proprietors A Work Train Runs Away on Grade From Motson and Pile-up Occurs at Oroville. On Thursday-,, morning last the worst wreck that has yet occurred on the V. V. &'E. took place in the Oroville yard. A heavy work train loaded with steel rails, ties and hridge timbers was hound for the end of the track. On coining down the steep grade from Molson this train got beyond control, owing to derangement of the air brake connections which prevented the application of any brake control from the engine. The driver on finding that the air connections were cut started back over the train to aid in applying the hand brakes, but with the violent swaying of the train from the tremendous momentum attained he was thrown off and badly injured. It was unfortunate that he did not tie down the whistle on his engine so as to give warning in Oroville that a runaway train was coining. Had he done this a clear track would have been left. As it was, the engine of the track-layer was standing on the main track in the station yard along with some fiat cars, and on top of this the runaway Avork train, which managed to keep the track piled up. The engineer was off his engine cleaning up, but as his own engine was blow- During the week, the member for .Similkameen has had one'of the few passages at arms which have occurred between members on the opposing sides in the present session. Mr. Shatford had occasion to meet the leader of the Opposition, one of the keenest in debate in the House. The member for Similkameen had the satisfaction of acquitting himself with credit and putting to rout Mr. Macdonald, the vaunted terror in the Opposition side of the House. The question involved was a personal one, and dated from the last election campaign when the leader of the Opposition had the bad taste to take advantage of the fact that Mr. .Shatford had been called away from a session of the legislature to go to California to be present at what was at the time expected to he the death bed of his father to charge that this was hut a, hoax, in'order that the- member for Similkameen should avoid a. vote in the legislature. It was but natural that a man of the character of Mr. Shatford should feel this very keenly. He accordingly took the occasion to dress the leader of the Opposition down for his despicable act. Mi-. Macdonald replied two days later but the member for Similkameen did not let his opponent take advantage of any subterfuge, hut insisted upon the question fairly before the members and proving that the leader of the Opposition had been guilty of acting anything but fair towards the member for Similkameen. roads kept in repair to his farm, and all the otlier advantages of civil government. ��������� r. In his own district Mr. Shatford said the small farmers were weir satisfied with the rate imposed, and knew that the government would, if possible, reduce it still further. He felt- satisfied that if a bill were introduced into the legislature by the government to exempt from taxation small .farmers altogether there would be opposition to it from the Liberals, who would say the government ought to give them a bonus (laughter.) Mr, Shatford said that he well knew what the small farmer had to contend with and they had his deepest sympathy. He felt satisfied, however, that the government would do the best fortius deserving class. Mr. Shatford said he would have liked to have seen more money appropriated iVn'his district. More money was really required, but he felt that he had been treated fairly and had been given a, proportionate grant. Next year he hoped that there would be increased appropriations, and he expected then proportionate increases for Similkameen. There were roads which ought to have been attended to this,coining year but they would have to stand over until next year. It might be asked what development was there in the Similkameen that called for this increase in the appropriations for the district. He could inform the House that'-there was. Very rapid development in his district. The coast cities and the coast districts had been fed by the interior in the past. This was to be discontinued, for the future. The member for Alberni had been incorrectly informed as to the mileage of roads in the Similkameen. He would tell him that there was between 700 and 800 miles of road in the district. Similkameen had not received more than it was entitled to. As long as he was in the House, Mr. Shatford said he hoped to receive a square deal. ' He said he was glad to see the appropriation for an irrigation commission. He would suggest, however, that the government instruct the commission to get information relative to some of the great schemes which had been carried out elsewhere on the continent. By so doing, a, comprehensive report could be brought in. COAL MINERS : STRIKE AGAIN Men Quit Work o in Crow's Nest Coal Mines.

When he was found it was seen that one of the iron brace-rods under a flat car was driven into his head which was resting on a tie, and that he was still living. The only way to release him was to cut this rod with a hack saw; which must have caused the victim untold torture. He spoke after being removed from the wreck, but died, shortly afterwards. Five men in all were injured of whom it was expected that most would die. A wrecking gang arrived on the. scene next day and cleared away the wreckage. Of the two engines in the wreck one was practically demolished, but the other was only slightly injured.

Nichol, who was held for several weeks suspected of being implicated in the Zimmerman murder case, and remanded several times, was up again on Saturday last, when the evidence provided to connect-srim with the case was not deemed sufficiently strong by the bench to warrant sending it up to a higher court, and he was accordingly acquitted. L. W. Shatford, M. P. P., has been called east to the bedside of his father at Hubbard's Cove, N. S. A telegram was received stating that another stroke of paralysis had occurred, and that no hope of recovery from it was held out by the attending physicians. His other brothers, W. T., S. A. and B. A., were also summoned and have gone east with him. and the Government was subjected to a good deal of criticism by successive speakers on the opposite side for the large appropriations to the Similkameen district. It became necessary for the member for the district towards the close of the debate to put the matter clearly. He showed splendid powers of debate and attracted the attention of the House to the district which he represented. Mr. Shatford congratulated the Speaker upon attaining to the high and honorable! position he has been elected to fill. He also congratulated the mover and seconder of the address in reply to the speech of His Honor the Lieutenant Governor. Proceeding then to the public question, he pictured the situation in the province when the first Conservative government came into power. The finances were in a wretched condition. The credit of the province was gone. The government of Premier McBride had found the banks closed to them. Now this had changed. The credit of B. C. had been restored until it was now second to no other province in the Dominion of Canada. Mr. Shatford said that there had been a- lot of talk from the Opposition side on the subject of reduction of taxation. It had been repeatedly urged by the Liberals that the government had not lived up to the promises given before election. They had contended that the Conservative candidates had promised to reduce the taxation upon small farmers if returned. He could inform the House that no such promise was given by the Conservative candidate in Similkameen. Mr. Shatford said that when the government found it necessary to increase taxation it avoided placing any part of it on the working man. The business interests were made to bear the increased taxation. It was promised that as soon as possible the taxes would be reduced. That promise has been lived up to. The small farmers in the country were well satisfied with the conditions. He paid probably not more than $6.00 a year in taxes and got a free school, Continued on Vafrc Four. ALL WHEELS ARE MOVING Daly Reduction Company's Works the Scene of General Activity This week sees things in full blast around the above works in Hedley. There is ample water to keep all machines humming and a corresponding air of satisfaction is reflected in the faces of manager and heads of departments. The over-hauling which has been given to different parts is having the desired effect in smoothness and increased effiicieney. A peep into the enlarged and re-arranged assay office affords a sample of the improvements effected. The new addition in which the samples are prepared, is laid out for much greater rapidity and accuracy. The floor is of cement with iron sampling area in the centre. Three grinders are at work, the last of which leaves the sample ground to almost impalpable fineness. Not a speck of dust from this room gets into either the furnace room or chemical laboratories. The old bucking board, now obsolete, and other antiquated equipment used by Lamb is ready to be donated to the metallurgical historical society when such an organization eventuates. The furnace in the furnace room has been re-built and can be regulated to a nicety. Ample muffle room is provided to do a- large volume of work. The capacity of the whole office has been increased from about 30 or -iO samples to 400 samples per day, and the cost to secure this improvement looks to be toifling in proportion to the benefit derived. Two assayers, Messrs Oake and Williams are busy on a big pile of samples. During the year Mr. Ross intends keeping the assay office going to its full capacity, for he is determined to know exactly what everything is worth. The long-dreaded misfortune has occurred, and news has come to hand that work is almost suspended in the coal camps of Alberta and the Crows Nest in B.C. No general strike has been called, but the. nien have simply quit work. By this way they expect to evade the penalties provided for in the Lemieux Act. The first official move that the union made that could be construed as meaning a declaration for a strike, or the adoption of strike methods, has been the posting up of the following notice: "All miners, mine laborers and other workmen are requested to keep away from the coal mines in Alberta and the Crow's Nest Pass district- in British Columbia. Dispute pending. By order district executive board, U. M. W. of A." - This it is believed can be construed into a recognition on the part of the union that the steps already taken Inquiring work is virtually the existence of strike conditions, and as such is a violation of the Lemieux Act. Smelter men and railway superintendents see in it the beginning of a very serious state of affairs which will cripple the season's work in the mining and smelting industries as well as in freight haulage on the railways. This last contingent means virtually the exertion of a paralyzing effect upon the.lumber industry and all others. To us in the Similkameen it means further delay in railway construction. Had the V. V. <fc E. rushed matters during the past year and a half and had their tracks completed to Princeton they might now have the advantage of other coal supply for their engines and not be depending wholly upon the Crow's Nest mines. V. V. & E. SURVEYORS DISBAND. Engineer Milliken's Gang Break Up Camp Last Week���������Public Unable to Understand Import. In last issue, reference was made to a rumor that Milliken's gang of surveyors, who had been at work on the V. V. & E. since last summer, had received orders to disband. This was confirmed when on Friday uight the gang appeared in Hedley on their way out to Midway. It is only a fortnight since Chief Engineer J. H. Kennedy was through, and at that time there was no intimation of any probability of a move of this kind ; for while it is generally understood that their work is completed so far as location of the route from Keremeos through Hedley to Princeton is concerned, it has also been understood that most of their work for the past month or so has been that of marking time until construction on this portion of the route should begin, when there would be abundance of work for them in cross-sectioning, and other engineering connected with construction. The reason for the move is not apparent, and so far as known nothing has been given out as to where they will be sent after reaching Midway. The whole circumstance certainly doesn't look good to dwellers in the upper Similkameen, some of whom interpret the move as indefinite postponement of construction. During the the railway discussion in the Commons in June, 1905, the representations made as to the time within which the. Company would have the road completed through the Similkameen, certainly gave no inkling as to any probability of so little progress- being made at this length of time, and those who were led to make preparations as the result of the representations then made, have many of them found to their cost that they had been far too credulous.

That-clause specifies that "no clergyman of any denomination shall be eligible for the position-of. superintendent, inspector, teacher, or trustee." These petitions then must bear the. interpretation that ihe clerical petitioners aspire to some or all of these positions: but will it be a wise thing for the people of'this province to yield to their demands and permit the insertion of the thin edge of the wedge which may launch us upon a troubled sea of religious controversy in connection with our schools? Everything is now smooth sailing, and the clause which they want removed was inserted by level-headed, far-seeing men who sought to shut out the very ills to which these, mis-guided men now seek most wantonly to expose us. Canada has hail trouble, enough in some of the provinces as the result of clerical interference in school matters, and British Columbia does well to say beforehand to all would-be religious disturbers be they protcstant or papal in their beliefs, that they must not touch our school system even with a-forty- foot pole. Wo want no Sbarottis in British Columbia and one. brand of him may accomplish as much harm as another; for when good old .'John Milton said "new presbyter is but old priest writ large" be showed that the Crouiwellinn zealot was but a type of those who might come after, and they're coming. There are several features in connection with the presentation of these petitions that- are worthy of note. One is the simultaneous receipt of them at Victoria showing preconcerted action and the adoption of trades union methods. Evidently the unknown Sbaietti in this connection has been playing the role of walking delegate and organizer. Then the movement follows so closely upon that of the Lord's Day Act that it would seem that the. apathy which enabled them to secure the passing of that Act has apology.

Mri Williams, from the Hall Mines smelter at Nelson, has been added to the staff of the Dalv Reduction Co. and has entered on his duties tit the assay office here. ' . George Cawston returned from Seattle last week. While in that city he met Mr. M. K. Rodgers, who inquired kindly after Hedley friends and sent his regards. Mr. C. A. Stoess, C. E. is busy running levels and preparing plans for the Keremeos Land Company's big irrigation ditch from Ashnola creek to supply water for their lands at Keremeos. The new steamer Okanagan was launched oil Tuesday of last week and was christened by Mrs Gore of Nelson. The steamer niade'a trial trip to Penticton on Monday, under the command of Ca.pt.- Gore. The upper basin of Twenty mile is beginning to let go a little of its supply of the beautiful. At all events the creek -made an appreciable gain last week. Water flowed over the dam on Sunday night for the first time. Before that the flume was able to take all that was coming. While the Aveather for the past fort- seemed very pleasant, it below the corresponding days of hist year. The. week ending Saturday 20th gave a. mean average of -13.-12 and the corre sponding week of last year showed the menu average to be. 53.42. The work done on the road at Brushy bottom Avill be- completed tonight. Whenever the water gets high enough to cause backing up from the river, the old road at Brushy bottom was a pit that had no bottom, brushy or any other kind. The road has been changed so as to keep the gravel bank all around this basin. Different fishing parties that have been out state that there are abundance of trout in Twenty mile creek but that as a rule they are very small, and it is difficult to keep within the requirements of the law which forbids catching any under six inches in length. One party states that for every fish he could catch over six inches in length, ho had to throwback two or three that were under six." Many of the residents of the Similkameen Avill learn with regret of the i death of Miss Mamie Corrigan who j some three years ago visited her uncle ' .1. W. AVirth in Hedley, and her aunt Mrs. Daly in Keremeos. She had a severe attack of lagrippe at Hope, and this later developed into acute rheumatism and rheumatic fever. She was taken to Mission City by Dr. Stuart iu the hope that the change might be beneficial, but she died two days after her arrival there. She leaves a heartbroken father, five brothers and one sister to mourn her untimely demise. A young fellow from Anarchist mountain stole a horse near Oroville and rode up to Kelowna where he sold him. When he got back to Washington they nabbed him. He then made the cold-blooded proposition that if they Avould give him four days he Avould bring the horse back. He then proceeded to Kelowna to steal the horse from the man to Avhom he had sold him, and did so; but he only got back as far as Penticton with the horse when constable Tooth took him in tow. His chance is particulurly good for being a guest of the province for some time to come. ������������������ A ineiiting of the Hedley Rifle Association will be held in Hairsitio's billiard parlor-; to-morrow (Friday) ev'g.

PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE Coiil'i'nued from I'age One entire valley of tile Similkanieen together with the southern Okanagan was well adapted for fruit giowing. Peaches, grapes and ahuonds were readily grown, as well as the hardier apple, of which Price Ellison had given an example. If the Premier would hut ' call a summer session he (Mr. Shatford) would show the nn'inhers the peaches, grapes. ������.vc, which Siinillvameen could produce, similar to the way iu which Air. Ellison had exhibited apples." lie would, moreover, have a supply sufficient tn go round tlie members. Tliere were thousands* of acres of the best fruit lands in America in the Sim- illcameen. Settlers from the colder j parts, as Manitoba, anxious to get away from the rigorous winters, were, anxious to come in and enjoy the cli- [ , mate of his district which was not surpassed anywhere else in-Anierica. The land was .capable from its richness* to produce practically anything. In tho past, the holding of large blocks here, interfered with settlement. This was how being overcome. Companies-had bought out some of these large holdings and had -subdivided them and thousands would be able to make homes on the lands ���������formerly held by a few. He lioped to see thousands of contented people living in these valleys producing fruit for a market which was unlimited, the Northwest. Transportation facilities had -been lacking, but he was glad to be able to inform the House that these facilities were soon coming. He. did not pretend that Siinilkameen was the only district where fruit could be grown in the province. Nowhere else could it be produced of belter' quality and with better returns. PROPERTY Is A Good, Safe Investment And Will Make Money Hedley is the. supply point for the Nickel Plate mountain,' on which is situated the famous " Nickel Plate"���������the richest gold mine in Canada���������and many other promising mines and prospects. It is the mining and business, centre of the ...PRICE OF LOTS... Simiikameen the new mining district which has already been proven, by a small amount of development workj to be one of the richest gold, cop2)er and coal mining sections of British Columbia. HEDLEY is the chief town on the route of the proposed' Coast-Kootenay Railway : and with the advent of this road,- which is assured in the near future, it will unquestionably become a large and important city, and town lots,-"will bring big returns on money invested at the present time.

If that were done the expenditure'on roads could he made to better advantage. ' 1 But Similkameen was not a fruit growing district alone, he said. Some of the best mines of America were in his district. Owing to, the lack of railway facilities in the past, the industry could not be developed as could have been hoped for, A line of railway was now being built which would allow , some .of the mines being developed. The province, would soon hear from the district as a producer of coal, copper and other minerals, in proportions which would make the district famous as a mining one. - ' Mr. Shatford expressed satisfaction with the appropriation for the prevention of forest fires. He thought this was a necessary step to take. Before closing, the member for Sim- ilka meeh said he had a personal matter which he would trouble the House with. He would have, taken this up earlier in the session but the leader of the Liberal-Socialist party was not present. He. had explained his absence on account of being sick. He hoped he had fully recovered now. The leader of, the Opposition had, during the campaign, made a statement on the public platform that he *( Mr. Shatford) had dodged the vote on the Columbia and Western bill. Mr. Shatford said he had not been present at the meeting but he was credibly informed that the member for Rossland had said that he, Mr. Shatford, had manufactured a story that his father was sick in order to avoid the vote on this bill. He would tell the leader of the Opposition now that this statement was not true. He was surprised that a man whom he had considered above making use of such tactics should have tried by the means which the member for Rossland adopted to have misled the people of Similkanieen. That the attempt had not succeeded was proved by the fact that he ( Mr. Shatford) had obtained a larger majority at the elections than the member For Those Who Invest Now ��������� ' i ,.

Mr. Macdonald, later in the debate, undertook to reply to Mr. Shatford by offering an explanation of the incident. He said that Mr. Shatford had come to him with a telegram and asked for a pair. He had complied with the request because it was represented that Mr. Shatford's father was dying. Another member on the Government side had told him that Mr. Shatford went away simply to dodge the vote on the Columbia ������.v, Western bill. Mr. Shatford, as soon as the leader of the Opposition closed his speech, was on his feet. He wanted Mr. M.-c- donuld to name the member who told him that he ( Mr. Shatford ) had gone away to dodge a vote. He challenged Mr. Macdonald to name any member who had said such a thing. Mr. Macdonald failed to make good and allowed the question to remain unansweied. The member for Similkameen denied that he ever showed Mr. Macdonald a telegram. Mr. Macdonald then tried in a lawyer's fashion to overawe his opponent. He asked Mr. Shatford if he denied that he had shown him a telegram when he asked him for a, pair. Mr. Shatford quickly returned the answer that he never showed the leader of the Opposition a telegram, and further he added that he did not ask the leader of the Opposition for a pair. He asked the Liberal whip, Dr. King, for it. Beaten on one point, Mr. Macdonald tried another turn. He wanted to know if Mi*. Shatford denied that he asked him (Mr. Macdonald) for a, pair. Mr. Shatford said he never asked Mr. Macdonald for a pair, and the question was allowed to drop, the leader of the Opposition having derived little satisfaction in attempting to reply to Mr. Shatford. 20 " " wheat hay 50 " Loose wheat hay, in stack ���������M " Oats 20 " Chopped oats and barley 7 " Wheat, fall and spring 10 " Bald barley *l " Kail rye Market Prices.
